California: Rialto School Board members face petitions

Rialto School Board members Joseph Martinez and Joe Ayala received recall petitions over the approval of contracts, and claims that the reserve fund was depleted of $30 millions. Both were elected in 2008 and are on their second terms.

The recall fight comes after the superintendent retired in the face of an investigation into his personal relationship with a district accountant who is accused of stealing $1.8 million in lunch money over 8 years.

Ayala did not vote to place the superintendent on paid administrative leave.
